The physician as manager. "What" and HOW" OF PRACTICE MANAGEMENT EDUCATION.

Management science and application play a pivotal role in preparing physicians for effective and efficient office practice. Integration of management theory into practice management education of family physicians may be accomplished by developing and maintaining a well-organized model practice, involving residents directly in management decisions and problem solving, using a variety of resource people in and outside the model unit, and providing quantitative analysis of practice performance. After three years of development, the Family Practice Center of Akron City Hospital has instituted a practice management curriculum whereby residents become actively involved in the management and supervision of the model practice, conduct research study into management problems, and receive training and supervision as they develop leadership and organizational skills.

Management of toxic megacolon: the significance of early recognition in medical management.

Twenty-seven patients with acute toxic dilatation of the colon (TM) as a complication of inflammatory disease of the colon are reported. To emphasize the importance of early recognition and therapy, we separated the patients into two groups: 19 were receiving care by the authors (series A) before the development of TM, and eight were seen in consultation after its onset (series B), TM subsided with medical therapy in 13 episodes among 19 patients in series A and two of eight B. The others underwent surgical therapy. There were no deaths in either group. The differences in management and mortality from other reports suggest a program of surveillance and therapy for this life-threatening situation.

Nutritional concepts in the management of the head and neck cancer patient. II. Management concepts.

Essential to the management of the head and neck cancer patient is carefully monitored nutritional support. Traditionally, enteral alimentation, using the nasogastric feeding tube, has been the mainstay of treatment. Tube feedings should provide ample amounts of essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and adequate calories and protein. Knowledge of the tube feedings available and problems associated with their administration helps to avoid the pitfalls which limit their effectiveness. The inadequacies of enteral alimentation preclude its use in selected circumstances of severe nutritional depletion. Parenteral hyperalimentation, as a primary or adjuvant mode of therapy, may be capable of rapidly reversing deficits, improving postoperative morbidity and increasing tolerance to radiation and chemotherapy. Postoperative deglutition abnormalities may prolong the nutritional problems of head and neck cancer patients as well.
